Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana branch of listed hate group the American Family Association, has said that Christians involved in “spiritual warfare” are the real victims in the state’s “right to discriminate” law

Falsely claiming that Indiana’s discriminatory law is the exact same law as Religious Freedom Restoration Act statutes enacted on the federal level and in other states, Clark said:

“The first thing you have to do is pray, because this is a spiritual war. There is no doubt about that, by the Twitter comments I get, by the email comments and threats from the opposition, some pornographic things that are out there and obscene things being said.

"This is a campaign of fear and lies and so this is a spiritual war that people must pray about.

"I said a few years ago, ‘if we won’t stand for marriage, what will we stand for,’ but if we won’t stand for our own religious freedom, what will we stand for as a church?”
